His insights on cutting-edge issues at the intersection of AI and privacy have made him a sought-after speaker and educator, including as an Adjunct Professor at USC Gould School of Law.
Mr. Sadun has also been recognized by LawDragon for being among America’s Top 20 Cybersecurity Litigators and recommended by The Legal 500 in Cyber Law, Consumer Products, Pharma and Medical Devices, Product Liability, Mass Tort, and Class Actions.
